An investigation by European public service broadcasters, including SVT, reveals over 50 physical hybrid attacks targeting Europe in the last six months, with evidence pointing to Russia. These attacks represent a significant escalation in hostile activity, and defense officials anticipate this period of instability will last for 10 to 15 years. The findings highlight a sustained campaign of hybrid warfare directed towards European nations. According to Swedish Armed Forces Chief of Staff Carl-Johan Edström, this situation is not a short-term threat. The investigation details a pattern of coordinated actions intended to destabilize and disrupt European infrastructure and security. This represents a long-term challenge requiring a unified and sustained response from European countries.
